Dani Ceballos admits he knew about interest from other clubs in January.
The Real Madrid midfielder joined Arsenal on loan at the start of the season.
And the Spaniard has admitted he received offers, including from Valenica, to leave the Emirates during the winter transfer window.
On whether he could have left Arsenal in January, he told El Chiringuito de Jugones:: "Yes, my agent told me about the interest of other teams but I did not play because I was coming back from injury.
"I started training and changed my situation. In the last month-and-a-half I felt important. I knew about Valencia's interest."
